Saturday Morning Science, the science of opportunity series of applied experiments and demonstrations, performed aboard the International Space Station (ISS) by Expedition 6 astronaut Dr. Don Pettit, revealed some remarkable findings. In this video clip, Pettit demonstrates laminar flow in a rotating film of water. The demonstration is done by placing tracer particles in a water film held in place by a round wire loop, then stirring the system rotationally. The resulting flow clearly...favorite ( 1 reviews ) Topics: What -- Opportunity, What -- International Space Station (ISS), What -- WIRE Source: http://mix.msfc.nasa.gov/abstracts.php?p=3880
